Zelakon: Yeah, it's probably too similar. The name Mi got stuck quite early, I still like that name best though then people will think I stole it from Nintendo and removed an i . Mina was sort of similar to the original name so I guess I liked it for that.

...Regarding Mina. People could think you stole it from Nintendo and removed a 'd'. (--> Midna) Or has nobody played Zelda:Twilight Princess?

No, seriously, I understand the urge to have a unique name. I sometimes have the same problems with characters.Then you make something up. Then you have a wonderful, beautiful, unique name with some 'k's and 'y's in it.Then, people come and ask how to pronounce it.

I personally like 'Mi'. It just fits in there, in the grand ancient Knytt scheme. Gather 'round, let me explain: After all, it will be the third 'major knytt character' after (ummm..,) the first knytt and juni.In japanese, three is written as 三, which has the readings さん(-->san) and み(-->mi).

I have some more japanese/chinese analogies at hand, but this post would become quite large, so this shall suffice.
